Our Local 66, 1955-1960

The collection contains speeches and papers written for the newsletter, or to give at banquets and dinners by Belle Horensen. Horensen became the librarian for Local 91 in 1943, elected business agent in 1946, and was the manager from 1977 until her retirement in 1982. There is also some information on contracts and prices, scripts for membership meetings, and the 60th anniversary of Local 91 in 1973.



The collection also contains bound copies of Local 91's publication "Our Aim." Historical information of Local 91 can be found in the anniversary pamphlets, as well as the paper written by Morris Paladino for a Trade Union Fellowship Class at Harvard University, which provides an in-depth study of the industry, structure, governance, and organization of the union utilizing Local 91 as a case-study.
